Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well. Have you entered our Ethereal FQ Bundle Giveaway yet? You can win this bundle of gorgeousness – be sure to enter here!

The holiday season is officially here! And there is so much left to do – decorating the tree, finding those last minute gifts, planning the perfect menu for your upcoming holiday party, and baking, baking…and oh yes, more baking. And while we can’t help with your holiday shopping or baking, we’ve got a fun DIY today that will surely add festivity to your party decor!

Our Chalkboard Fabric Holiday Banner is perfect for organizing your party (DIY hot chocolate bar, anyone? :)), as a backdrop for a photobooth, or for adding some extra holiday cheer! We had our office Christmukkah party this past weekend, and our banner added a modern and creative element to the decor. And the best parts? It’s not too difficult to make… and it’s reusable!

It’s time for this week’s What We Love ♥ “All things sparkly” are on the mind… especially as we get closer to the holiday season. We are so inspired as we walk by the twinkling lights, adding a bit of magic to ordinary streets. So much happiness and love around us; that’s what the holidays truly capture. See what we’ve been inspired by this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a lovely day.

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Flower Power Quilt by Quilt Doodle Designs. Flower Power is a more traditional-type quilt design, which includes beautiful floral cutouts and appliqued yo-yo centers. Around each flower is a border of small squares, which add a really fun detail. A lot of work, but visually worth it!

We chose to feature our Petite Plume by Andrea Turk collection, which was perfect with the powerful flowers in the quilt pattern. The bird/floral/feather prints in chartreuse, navy, and coral colorways matched together to create a sophisticated and clean design. We enjoyed Cindy of Quilt Doodle Designs’ unique style, and we had a wonderful time collaborating with her on this quilt pattern.

It’s time for this week’s What We Love #75 ♥ How did the holiday season catch up with us so soon? As we step outside now, the streets are decked in glitter and sparkle – creating a magical scene against the onyx sky. We can’t help by getting to the holiday spirit, even though it isn’t quite December yet. But, it never is too early to listen to holiday music or bake gingerbread people… at least we don’t think so ;) See what we have been loving this week… ♥

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having a fantastic day. We haven’t updated you all on any national food days in a while… so Happy National Baklava Day! ;)

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our Framed Quilt, designed by Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. Framed is a fun and modern quilt design, consisting of connected “frames” in vertical lines. This quilt does not have a border, so it has a cool look of the frame repetitions continuing off the quilt. You can have a lot of creative fun with this one. We chose to feature our sunset-inspired Fresh Solid colors, with a line of Wildberry, Geranium, Grapefruit, and Chamomile. To add a pop, we chose our Tide and Amethyst colors for the background. We love how our Solids Framed quilt looks like modern art!
